<p><b>Winner of the Forward Prize for Best Collection<br>Winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize</b><br><b>Winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry</b><br><b>An<i> Observer, Telegraph, TLS, Guardian, Scotsman, New Statesman, </i><i>Financial Times</i> and <i>Irish Times </i>Book of the Year<br>Shortlisted for the PEN Heaney Prize</b><br><br><i>Wellwater</i> demonstrates a poet writing at the height of her powers. In poems that are supple, philosophical, bracingly honest and ribbed with erudition, <i>Wellwater </i>conducts a self-interrogative conversation with a culture in crisis and a natural world on the brink. Thresholds abound, 'doors between dimensions' where past selves or lost loved ones speak to us again: 'death is not Saskatchewan' shrugs one encountered soul, 'we don't all know each other in this place'.<br><br>Solie excels as a laureate of the transitory, of 'baffling flats . . . tiny museums of illegalities', motel rooms exuding a 'low hum of menace'. Her roving, syntactically elegant poems will often resolve in disarming directness, a precise admission of the emotional stakes. Karen Solie is increasingly recognised as one of the essential voices in world poetry. <i>Wellwater</i> will delight those already in the know, while new readers of her work will be astonished.<br><br><b>'Solie is an essential writer . . . anyone remotely interested in 21st-century literature, or 21st-century life, should read her' - Tristram Fane Saunders, <i>Telegraph</i></b><br><br><b>'Powerful, philosophical, intelligent . . . [Solie is] adept at pulling great wisdom from the ordinary' - Griffin Prize judges Anne Carson, Kathleen Jamie and Carl Phillips<br><br>'A work of political profundity and linguistic dexterity that constantly surprises.' - Susannah Dickey, PEN Heaney Prize-winning author of <i>ISDAL</i> and <i>Tennis Lessons</i></b></p><p><b>'Karen Solie should be read wherever English is spoken' - Michael Hofmann, <i>LRB</i><br><br>'Half-expertise and half-magi
